Geert,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've been working with a
colleague on this, but we've had a lot of interruptions, and we're
just now getting back to this.

Based on our previous conversations, you didn’t want me to add a
reference clock to the EHCI node, because you wanted us to use the
rcar-usb2-clock-sel driver.
If I just add the node for the rcar-usb2-clock-sel  that references
the versaclock, the clock tree shows it’s present, but neither the
rcar-usb2-clock-sel nor the versaclock are actually enabled.  From
what we’re seeing, the rcar-usb2-clock-sel driver needs a consumer in
order for it to activate.

It seems like it makes sense to optionally associate the
rcar-usb2-clock-sel to all USB nodes, including the USB3 node. The
EHCI controller section in the UG calls out USB_XTAL/USB_EXTAL as
external pins as well as the USBHS module calling out the same pins in
its overview section.  The USB3 Phy section mentions
USB_XTAL/USB_EXTAL, but for some reason the USB3 controller overview
does not mention them as “external pins”

I’d like to propose that we add an optional reference clock for the
USB3 which can point to the rcar-usb2-clock-sel.
On the USB EHCI nodes where I previously wanted to reference the
versaclock, I’d like to reference the rcar-usb2-clock-sel.

The clock tree would look something like:
     Versaclock-> rcar-usb2-clock-sel->USB

The EHCI clocks would look like:
 clocks = <&cpg CPG_MOD 703>, <&cpg CPG_MOD 704>, <&usb2_clksel>

If we do it this way, we’d need to modify the rcar-usb2-clock-sel to
enable the external versaclock and keep it enabled.  Currently, it
enables the clock, reads the clock speed and shuts down after
determining the clock speed.

An alternative to modifying the rcar-usb2-clock-sel code would be to
add both usb2_clksel and the versaclock reference to the EHCI nodes,
but I know you were not completely satisfied with that idea, but it
would likely not require any code changes.

Versaclock-> rcar-usb2-clock-sel->USB<-versaclock

The ECHI clocks would like:
clocks = <&cpg CPG_MOD 703>, <&cpg CPG_MOD 704>, <&versaclock5 3>,
<&usb2_clksel>

Before I move forward on writing this code, I'd like to make sure
you're OK with one of those options , since there are a few ways to do
it.  If you have another suggestion, I'm willing to do that instead.
